On Tuesday 03 September 2013 the Vans Pro Skate team paid a fleeting visit to the Southbank skate park for a demo.
I am going to say it was the most awesome display of skating I have witnessed at South Bank. Sadly the batteries for my flash were flat so the images as not as fantastic as the skating was.
It did draw a good sized and enthusiastic crowd of skaters and supporters.
Yeah, it was hard work!
The undercroft skate park at Southbank is under threat of closure as part of an expansion of the Southbank Centre, while I support the expansion of the centre itself I do not support the closure of this iconic part of London’s skating and graffiti history.
For more information on the issue and to register your support for the campaign to retain the undercroft as a skate park, look here.
